Dating from the late 1980s, this is an interesting surviving piece of early IBM PC software and computing history.

The original packaging states that the Extended Edition featured:

* Presentation Manager

* Base operating-system enhancements

* Database Manager for SQL database and query functions

* Communications Manager

* Multiple concurrent communications

* Terminal emulation functions

Original Retail Price

The IBM OS/2 Extended Edition Version 1.1 package had an original US list price of approximately $795, making this an expensive professional software package when new.

Please note that this item is marked Volume 2 and is therefore being offered as the volume shown rather than being described as a complete OS/2 installation package.
